New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh was feeling himself after his team’s win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and rightfully so given that most had already written off this Jets team. Not only did he compliment his team’s effort after the 20-14 victory, he took a shot at the quarterbacks the Jets have picked apart this season.
With the Jets holding Jalen Hurts to 280 yards passing and picking him off three times in the win on Sunday, Saleh took time to reflect on how New York’s defense has “embarrassed” every quarterback it has squared off against this season.

According to OutKick’s Armando Salguero, Fields is dealing with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. The injury expectedly sidelines him for ‘multiple weeks.
Dan Campbell was in prime form after the Lions beat the Buccaneers.
The Lions are now 5-1 after earning a hard-fought 20-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and that means one thing:
A Dan Campbell victory speech.
Campbell has been a consistent content machine since the Detroit Lions hired him as head coach, and one of his most popular moves is to fire up the roster with some locker room hype. The man could get your grandma ready to run through a wall.

The Red Bull driver’s battle to stay in second, and with his team, tops storylines for the United States Grand Prix
Sergio Pérez is fighting for his Formula 1 future.
The second seat at Red Bull has often been described as the “second seat of death,” and Pérez is currently enduring that reality. While he sits in second place in the Drivers’ standings, inconsistent performances and missed opportunities have put his status for the team beyond 2024 into severe doubt.

The Eagles’ problems extend deeper than a loss to the Jets.
Is there a good reason other than roster talent to believe in the Philadelphia Eagles right now? Seriously, if you have a good answer I’d like to see your work — because despite dropping their first game of the season to the Jets there’s nothing about this team that shows they deserve being 5-1 right now.
We saw this one year ago with another 5-1 team who consistently played down to their competition and squeezed out wins by a single score: The Minnesota Vikings.
Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor, Angel City forward Sydney Leroux and Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers headline the top 13 plays of the weekend.
Dillon Danis is still firing away on social media after getting dominated in the ring by Logan Paul.
The two spent months and months trading shots, and Danis really escalated things by bringing Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal into the mix with nonstop trolling.
However, he didn’t back it up in the ring. In fact, Dillon Danis looked awful during the Saturday fight, which ended in a massive brawl.

Baker Mayfield didn’t mince words assessing his play after losing to the Lions.
The Detroit Lions improved to 5-1 after beating the Bucs 20-6, and Mayfield didn’t play well. He threw for 206 yards on 19/37 passing and added in an interception for good measure. It was a brutal game for the Bucs, and Mayfield didn’t attempt to hide that fact after the loss.
“We sucked today. I sucked today. We sucked today. It was awful from the get-go. Can’t play like that,” Mayfield said, in part, following the loss.
Bill Belichick’s temper flared Sunday during a loss to the Raiders.
The Patriots are now 1-5 after losing to the Raiders 21-17, and it’s officially a dumpster fire of a situation for New England.
That was made clear in the fourth quarter when Belichick had finally had enough and responded by smashing a tablet in the fourth quarter following a penalty, according to Fox News.
You can watch Belichick’s frustration boil over below.

What a fun Sunday, capped by a super-dramatic finish to Bills-Jets …
Two excellent defenses shut down the last two undefeated teams in the NFL on Sunday, including a Jets win over the Eagles.

Just because we’re in the age of supercharged offenses, and hold-on-to-your-butts defenses, doesn’t mean we won’t get Sundays like this one.
